Debate:

• Has the promise of applications of structural ceramics led us astray from other potentially important problems and applications?
• Is long-crack toughness of ceramics with complex microstructures a useful concept?
• Can fracture mechanics ever capture the complexities inherent in real ceramic microstructures?

Debators and Moderators to be announced.

Questions for the debate will be compiled interactively on this website prior to the conference, edited and

presented by the moderators for general debate.
